Sitting Correctly

I've been looking around alot about how to sit properly, I've found some
good tutorials but even when I follow them I still get fatigued really
quickly. I've been riding bikes for a long time, my typical road ride is
60+ miles so I can't imagine my legs are out of shape. I put a lot of
pressure on my legs for stability and can only relax when riding fast,
but even in a "relaxed" state I still use what seems like to much upper
leg muscle for stability. Does this just develop over time or am I
making a simple error? I try to sit upright and straight, but after a
few minutes my legs get a bit tired, I am trying to ride my unicycle a
few miles, but so far no avail, any ideas?

(I have a 24" Sun Unicycle, I'm not looking to get a coker or anything
I just want to ride what I have around town)

Thanks!

needed to be putting a lot more weight on the seat.



Problem solved. Stop standing, and just sit. Hold onto something and
let your legs dangle pretty much, maybe youll fall or let the uni slip
out from you, but at least youll feel what its like to have full weight
on the seat and your legs just limp.

80% weight on the seat, 10% on one pedal, 10% on the other.

In time youll relax a bit more and it will come naturally (I hope) but
its better to apply a bit more discipline to yourself and nip this
quickly.
